Lionel Messi has just turned 36 and continues to show that he still has a lot of football to give. The man from Rosario will be presented at Inter Miami on July 16 and all the fans of the Argentine National Team dream of seeing the captain not only in the next Copa América in 2024, but also in the 2026 World Cup.

Leo himself recently anticipated that he does not see himself disputing the next World Cup event, but he did not close the door completely either. At the moment, the date of his retirement is unknown and his followers do not even want to think about that day because of the sadness that will fill the world of football. Now, one of Messi's first teammates gave details of when he thinks Lionel could say goodbye to professional activity.

This is Bruno Milanesio, former soccer player and current coach who shared with La Pulga in the lower ranks of Newell's, before he made the leap to Barcelona. Puma, as he is nicknamed, did not have direct contact with the best player in the world again, but he told a childhood detail that anticipates when Leo's career could come to an end.

When will Messi retire according to Milanesio?

In a chat with Infobae, Bruno recounted: "He didn't get used to winning, he already had it with himself. He played 25 and won. If there was a game he couldn't win, it either wasn't played or he didn't play and just watched. I think the day he feels like he can't win, he's out. That may have happened to him when he resigned from the Argentine team. He is sick, he is obsessed with winning ”.
